  1. Right Triangle Trigonometry Trigonometry is based upon ratios of the sides of right triangles. The ratio of sides in triangles with the same angles is consistent. The size of the triangle does not matter because the triangles are similar (same shape different size).

  2. θ The six trigonometric functions of a right triangle, with an acute angle ,are defined by ratios of two sides of the triangle. hyp opp The sides of the right triangle are: adj  the side opposite the acute angle ,  the side adjacent to the acute angle ,  and the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

  3. Trigonometric Functions θ adj opp sin  = cos  = tan  = csc = sec  = cot  = hyp adj hyp hyp adj opp adj opp hyp The trigonometric functions are opp adj sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant. Note: sine and cosecant are reciprocals, cosine and secant are reciprocals, and tangent and cotangent are reciprocals.

  4. Reciprocal Functions Another way to look at it… sin  = 1/csc csc = 1/sin cos = 1/sec sec = 1/cos tan = 1/cot cot = 1/tan

  5. 5  12 Given 2 sides of a right triangle you should be able to find the value of all 6 trigonometric functions. Example:

  6. What if I tell you that ; can you find the other 5 trigonometric ratios?

  7. Standard Triangle with A, B, C, a, b, and c Angles: capital letters (A, B, and C) or greek letters (θ, α) Sides: lower case letters (a, b, c) Same letters are opposite of each other. A b c C B a

  8. Solve for all missing sides and angles if b = 5 and c = 10. Assume C is the right angle. 1st: Draw the triangle 2nd:Pick an angle to use as a reference 3rd: Label opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse 4th: Start solving!

  9. You are 330 feet from the base of a building. The angles of elevation to the top and bottom of a flagpole on top of the building are 55o and 53o. Find the height of the flag pole. 1st: Draw the picture 2nd: Solve for each triangle 3rd: Answer the question

  10. Exit slip time! • Homework: Day 3 on assignment guide! • (I have the dates wrong!) • Quiz coming up on Friday • (this is a change from the assignment guide)
